Finally what does the RDB option do ?


A traditional HDF is like a big floppy disk: it does not have a partition table and is not recognised by HDToolbox. If you enable RDB mode, the HDF acts like a real harddrive and can be partitioned with HDToolbox. The RDB is not created automatically by WinUAE.

uaehf.device strictly respects the "LAST ID" flag in the RDB. If the first HDF has this flag set, partitions on any further HDF are not mounted. In other words: if you add a new HDF to any existing configuration you have to check the old HDF with HDToolbox, too, in order to clear the flag.
